Life
Florentius and Cassius, Roman soldiers of the legendary Theban Legion, were killed at Bonn in Germany in the 3rd century (in 235 according to some accounts), during a persecution. A church was built over their tombs, one of the earliest in the Rhineland; Saint Helena raised a larger one, on whose site the Bonner Münster stands. They are commemorated on 10 October. The date follows the Western calendar (new style).
